What T.V. Shows Have Your Attention?

Started to watch American Primeval. A recent american western mini series that takes olace in 1857 during the Utah War when, as i understand it, the mormons under Brigham Young tried to make Utah into its own territory that did not have any bonds with the united states. Into this political mess comes a mother (played by Betty Gulpin) and her son heading west to try to find the childs father. They are escorted by a reluctant guide, a mountain man (Taylor Kitsch) and they face Bounty hunters, Mormon Militia, Natives and us cavalry all of whom she wish to avoid. Started well. Seen the three first episodes and will probably finish it tomorrow. Netflix

I finished Servant, Ted Lasso and rewatched first season of Severance.

I am in the middle of watching this. It is so bizarre I don't know what the heck's going on. Is she a child? Is she an adult? Is she murderous? Is she a predator? Who's lying?
I don't know the answer yet.

This series never seems to end. And I still don't know what is truth and what is not.

Severance’s season 2 opening scene was fascinating. As I watched it, the whole time, my mind is thinking about how they did it. 

Youtube has Ben Stiller and Adam Scott discussing just that. 

Vanity Fair posted it and it’s called Ben Stiller and Adam Scott Break Down Opening — Notes on a Scene. 

The precision and level of difficulty is so worth listening to. Respect.

Severance — no spoilers, just me guessing

in the opening credits, we see a lot of babies. It has been postulated that they are trying to clone and raise a baby Keir. 

Is Miss Huang a Gemma clone that they raised from a baby as a test? 

And Helly!

Severance — “ fetid moppet” and the confusion that washes over the face — a Disneyland animatronic dad?

 Selvig/Cobel is the wild card. She is going to be interesting. 

The season is 10 episodes. 10. One a week. No! I demand a quicker rollout. 

Arrrgggghhhh!

Watched new episodes Matlock, Elsbeth and halfway through new episode of Original Sin. 

love them all. 

Elsbeth is the closest we’ve had to a Columboesque series. New murder every week, new guest star. She’s smart, quirky and underestimated. It’s fun and charming. 

Matlock has Kathy Bates. She’s why I watch. She’s why I stay watching. 

Original Sin is everything we loved about the original Dexter.   I so hope Dexter Resurrection can maintain that quality. 

Saving new Severance for tonight.

I was afraid to watch Original Sin. I thought I would get upset that it's not Dexter Dexter. I'll give it a go

Started Safe House. A series based on a Harlan Coben book. Crime scene inside a gated community. Thrilling enough nut the recaps for each episode are too long and i absolutely hate the theme song (something called glitter and gold by a band i never heard of, i found absolutely no redeeming qualities in it and it plays on and on...), But i try to fasttrack past this bits. If i had had to listen to that in real time i would i've turned the tv off!!

....Barns Courtney I believe is the artist....I like the song, but not a continuous feed of it....

Has anyone watched resident alien? I'm pretty sure it's an old show but I saw the first episode it was pretty cool. Is it worth continuing?

I've heard good things about it. It has a huge fan base. I got to spend some time with Alan Tudyk at a mixer at a con a number of years ago -- really nice guy.

I also like the song and I love Ghost Ship. 😂❤️

Resident Alien is such a fun show. Alan is hilarious and adorable.  Haven’t seen season 3 yet.

Prime Target (Apple TV+) is interesting. The main character is very unlikeable, though. Someday I'd like to see a story with a mathematical genius who wasn't another Sheldon.

If anyone watches Captivated on Britbox, thoughts.

Ssverance episode 4. 

Unless you were just clueless, you knew exactly what was happening with Helly. Their commentary after episode 4 is off the mark when they think the reveal was shocking.  It wasn’t. I knew exactly what had to happen after they woke up from being outies and we got a look at Helena.  

(the minute she lied about what her outie was doing when they woke up, I knew it wasn’t Helly. But as they said, for Mark to complete the objective, he needed his team and Helly, with her new knowledge of being a Kier, was too dangerous to send back in. Plus, Helena was a bit turned on by Mark. She wanted that experience. She didn’t want Helly to have it. )

A little disappointed that they think we aren’t clocking in on at least some obvious things. That’s annoying. 

Plenty of surprises ahead for sure, but the Helly/Helen thing wasn’t one. 

And Mark just had sex with Helena — and while Helly showed she was attracted to mark, would she consider this a rape of sorts as it wasn’t really her? Obviously Mark had consent from who he thought was Helly , but not Helly.  And we see, Helena and Helly are two very different people. 

This outie innie thing is twisty.

This one was okay, but not quite as good as most Scandinavian crime series.

The Pitt is interesting. Noah Wylie (ER) leads the cast in a medical drama where each episode covers one hour of a single 15-hour emergency department shift. On Max.
